Fig. 8. Stride parameters (means ± 1 S.E.M.) for both limbs measured on the incline (black) versus on the level (gray; Hoyt et al., 2005). (A) Stride period decreased with speed and was longer on the incline than on the level, and was not different between the limbs. There were differences between the limbs for all the other parameters listed. (B) Swing time on the incline was not different from that on level for the forelimb, but was shorter for the hindlimb. (C) Time of contact on the incline was longer in the forelimb but not different in the hind limb. (D) Step length on the incline was longer for the forelimb but not different for the hindlimb. (E) The duty factor on the incline was not different from that on the level.
